LEARNING OBJECTIVES
08:38
A boiler and pressure vessel. A level 1 boiler and a critical pressure boiler. The various pressure fittings used on boilers. The types of safety valves on boilers. The components of a boiler gauge glass. The proper procedures for removing a boilers gauge glass from service, disassembly of the gauge, inspection and replacement and rebuild of a typical gauge glass.
BOILER
A steam boiler is a closed pressure vessel in which water is heated to generate saturated steam.
The water is heated by the gasses of combustion. A pressure vessel that produces hot water heated by the gasses of combustion is also a boiler.

BOILER - CLASSIFICATION

A Level 1 boiler is
When the temperature and pressure of a boiler equals 1500 or more. All of the components of a level one boiler designed with a safety factor of 5 and are tested and given serial numbers.

CRITICAL PRESSURE
Many boilers operate at pressures 1000 to 3000 psi. Some operate at critical pressure 3206 psi and 705.08oF
Critical pressure is the pressure at which steam and water at the same density. All critical pressure boilers must have separate a pump to create circulation.
08:38
All steam and water sections must have these. The superheater will have drains. The drums and headers will have drains.

used for taking boiler water samples. Drains, vents, and sampling connections will all have high pressure rated globe valves attached to the connection.

Water gage glass attached directly to the drum, they allow the operator to see the water level in the drum.
All boilers operating over 400 psi are required to have two independent means of determining water level. One will be a gauge glass attached directly to the steam drum; one will be a remote water level indicator.

the lowest visible part of the glass is 2 above the lowest permissible drum water level the upper most visible part of the glass is located 2 below the upper most

GAUGE GLASS
Boilers operating at pressures below 250 psi can be fitted with tubular type gauge glasses Above 250psi, flat type gauge glasses are required. Isolation valves are required on each leg of the gauge glass

GAUGE GLASS
08:38
There are high pressure glass type indicators that can be used instead of flat gauge glasses,
for example, bicolor gauge glasses. Figure gauge glasses work on the principle of light refraction
22
GAUGE GLASS
Every gauge glass will have valves to isolate the gauge from the drum pressure for maintenance and emergency situations. The isolation valves are usually of the quick closing type, capable of being closed with turn of the handles. The handles will be connected by chain pulls so that an operator can pull on the chain and close both valves at the same time from a remote location. The bottom isolation valve will always be fitted with a ball check device to prevent hot water from flowing through a broken gauge glass.

23
GAUGE GLASS
Each gauge glass assemble will be fitted with a blowdown connection to:
Insure that the connections between the drum and gauge do not become clogged. To help the operator tell the level in the glass. If you are in doubt of the level in the glass, blow the glass down (open the gauge drain valve).
08:38
If you blow a glass down, and you see the water level go up through the glass, then the drum level is high. If no level appears, then the level is high.

GAUGE GLASS
Leaks above the actual water level will indicate higher than normal levels. Leaks below the actual level will indicate lower than normal levels.
